1.6. Playlist

GardenWatchCam Player
allows you to play multiple
files, either from the same
directory or from multiple
directories. To add files to an
existing playlist, simply drag
and drop one or more files
onto the GardenWatchCam

Player window. Alternatively, using the “File –
Open” dialog box will allow you to select
multiple files.

Files will be sorted in the playlist by their date
and time stamp.

Wherever possible, the GardenWatchCam Player
moves from one file in the playlist to the next,
whether in regular play, single-frame, or motion
search mode.

To skip files in the playlist, you can either click on
the “Previous” or “Next”: buttons, or you can
double-click on any filename in the playlist.

To clear the playlist, you can click on the “Clear”
button.

1.7. Motion Search

For certain uses such as
surveillance and security
applications, GardenWatch-
Cam Player incorporates a
motion search algorithm.
This allows the user to
quickly scan through long
sequences in which nothing

moves, and only see frames where the scene
has changed.

Motion Search is only available when Garden-
WatchCam Player is in a paused or stopped
state.

1.7.1. Threshold

This sets how sensitive the motion detection is.
A value of 0 is most sensitive; any variation from
one frame to the next stops the motion search.
A threshold of 255 or greater is least sensitive;
no change in the image will stop the search.

1.7.2. Search Forward

GardenWatchCam Player scans from the
current frame toward the end, looking for
a frame differing from the previous frame
by more than the threshold value. When
GardenWatchCam player detects a frame
with motion, that frame is displayed in the
main image window and the player is put
into Pause mode.

1.7.3. Search Backward

Backward motion search functions
identically with forward motion search,
except that it scans from the current
frame toward the beginning of the
sequence.

1.7.4. Stop Motion Search

Stop Motion Search stops the motion
search at the current frame, and place
GardenWatchCam player into Pause
mode.

Note that during motion search, the main display
is not updated. This allows the motion search to
proceed more quickly than normal playback.

A subset of the image is displayed above the
motion search controls, to provide visual
feedback.
